MACHINE FOR THE CONTROLLED REPRODUCTION OF THE PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE AND IRRADIATION CONDITIONS OF PLANETARY ATMOSPHERES OR TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS AND METHOD OF USING SAID MACHINE

摘要

The invention relates to a machine or closed environment in which selected closely-controlled and verifiable environmental conditions (partial pressure of each gaseous component and temperature) can be reproduced and in which a determined study sample can be irradiated. The inventive installation can be used to reproduce different chemical and/or biochemical reactions which take place on the earth's surface, in outer space, in the atmospheres of the different planets of the solar system or in other real or virtual environments. The invention relates to the current interest in obtaining a deeper knowledge of our gaseous environment and conserving same. The invention is suitable for use in the following sectors: aeronautics, astronautics, geology, environment, materials science and catalysis.
